Peter Paul and Mary: Paul Stookey, The Wedding Song

Peter Paul and Mary: Paul Stookey, The Wedding Song

Lyrics:
He is now to be among you at the calling of your hearts
Rest assured this troubador is acting on His part.
The union of your spirits, here, has caused Him to remain
For whenever two or more of you are gathered in His name
There is Love. There is Love.

Well a man shall leave his mother and a woman leave her home
And they shall travel on to where the two shall be as one.
As it was in the beginning is now and until the end
Woman draws her life from man and gives it back again.
And there is Love. There is Love.

Well then what's to be the reason for becoming man and wife?
Is it Love that brings you here or Love that brings you life?
Or if loving is the answer, then who's the giving for?
Do you believe in something that you've never seen before?
Oh there's Love, there is Love.

Oh the marriage of your spirits here has caused Him to remain
For whenever two or more of you are gathered in His name
There is Love. Oh there's Love.

This song is based on the Bible verses regarding marriage. Not only is this song the ultimate wedding song but it is spiritual. It is one of the most perfect songs ever written.

This song is so beautiful. A friend sung it at our wedding and I've been singing it for others' weddings ever since.  My father performed the ceremony for us and this song made him choke back tears. This song will always bring back special memories for all involved in your wedding. God Bless and thanks for the special memories.

@shpirish44 Beautiful...Paul Stookey wrote this as a gift to Peter Yarrow for his wedding. Paul has donated all royalties from the song to charity...he said it was a gift to Peter and he would never profit from a gift.

20 people have not found love.. It took me 33 years, and a 10 year failed marriage to find it, but I finally have. I love you Laura!!!!

Excellent. For 3 minutes, makes me forget about Apollo hoax. I am reading a long article about it and this inspirational music is the best break.

A wonderful blend of brilliant finger-picking guitar and a great voice.
